If I do "cp somewhta somewhere" an at the same time I run
repquota and/or quotacheck the quota tools go into sate "D"
(uninterruptible sleep).
I've tried it on variuos hardware platforms (i386 with
different scsi and ide adaptors).
On the kernel-list comes a patch for 2.2.6 that solves this
problem but it isn't official. Here is the header of this
